Ernesto Lowy Gallego
Current Work at the CRG:
I am involved in the data analysis of several projects that make use of the Next-Generation Sequencing technology for different purposes, such as:
- Polymorphism discovery in Whole Genome/Targeted resequencing experiments
- Functional Annotation
- De Novo assembly
For these sort of analyses I make use of the publicly available tools and I implement my own scripts depending on the customer needs
Past Activity:
I completed my PhD in the field of Immunogenetics in 2003, then I decided to specialized myself in the field of Bioinformatics. For this I joined the EMBL-EBI and collaborated in the Ensembl project, where I had the opportunity to work and familiarize with the Ensembl genomic data and more specifically with the predictions performed by the Ensembl automated genome analysis and annotation pipeline. Then, I joined the bioinformatics core of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics (University of Oxford), where I worked providing bioinformatics support for scientists at the centre and for external customers. This support mainly consisted on the data analysis produced by the Next-Generation sequencing facility, database management, web development, statistical data analysis etc...
